Text message!


It's my midway post for our challenge over at
where the lovely Lynn has chosen the theme
add some text or anything goes
so long as you make a tag, an ATC or a bookmark.

I started with a black background to which
I added a white piece covered in
pink acrylic paint and then stencilled
with a dark pink using a text stencil
from Crafters Companion.
Next I added a torn piece of the pink text
paper (SU), slipping a piece of lace underneath
it for added texture.
I finished with the butterflies in pink
from AALL & CREATE and
some sticker words.

************************************

For my ATC I used a piece of card
cut to size made using my gel plate
with acrylic paint and some bubble wrap..
I added a strip of lace and then some
torn text paper in yellow (SU).
I stamped the mushroom using a set called
Happy Hedgehogs, coloured up with markers.
Next I text the little fairy from Lavinia stamps
in black.
I stencilled a circle for the moon
and finished with some sticky words.

Tag-along (& ATC's)


I am just HOPPING on to let you know about
our brand new challenge blog!

If you want more information then HOP over

I am sharing a little tag I made for a new baby.
I have used a border punch for the lacy top and bottom
and the bunny and wording is from a stamp
set called Easter Bunny (SU).
The background papers are also from SU.
I coloured up the bunny with markers
and added some ribbon and bakers twine.

As we are a Tag and ATC challenge I went
ahead and made a little ATC
using Fable Friends stamp set (SU).
The background has been made using my inks and a
cloud stencil.
The bunny has been coloured up using markers.
I grabbed a tree stamp from Happy Hedgehogs (SU)
and stamped it around the top of the ATC
and coloured it up with markers.
The sentiment was stamped in memento.

So come and check us out, follow the blog
and get ready for our first challenge in May!

Tweet birdhouse!


My Stash Buster video this week shows how to use some
pretty papers to make a cute little bird house to hold
some treats.

On the wings of a......


We have a new challenge over at
where the lovely Sandie has chosen the theme of
WINGS.

I used a stamp set called Happy Hedgehogs and used the little bird
and flower as well as the grass stamp.
I added some clouds to the background, water coloured the bird
and finished with a sentiment.
Instead of ribbon I just went with a little brad as
I found a good pile of them when shifting my room about!

It's our youngest Grandson Finbar's 5th birthday today so we
will be popping next door for cake and coffee this afternoon.
Miserable day with a rain storm right over us at the minute!
Enjoy your weekend and
Happy New Year to you all.
Hope it's a healthy and happy one for the most part anyway.

Colours of autumn


It's time for our October challenge over at
and the optional theme this month is
colours of Autumn.
As always we have an amazing prize up for grabs!

For my card I  stamped some text on the base of my card in pumpkin pie ink.
I then cut myself a broad border using pumpkin pie card.
I stamped, die cut and coloured my leaves and arranged them across the border.
I stamped, cut and coloured the hedgehog and pumpkins and
added them to my leaves.
I then stamped the sentiment over the text and finished with
some matching gems.

We had a great time at the Wedding yesterday but unfortunately
it rained non stop from 11am to 7pm.
Thankfully it did not dampen the day at all as everything
from the ceremony to the festivities were all catered for in the one
area and the place provided umbrellas when walking from
one area to another.
Have a great week everyone!

You've got a friend in me


As some of you know I signed up to
Stampin' Up! again yesterday.
I had a lapse of 2 months due to circumstances beyond
my control but greatly missed the buzz, inspiration
and get up and go that I had when I was a demo.
Soooooo, I'm back again to torture you.

My little card today was inspired by a challenge over at
Less is More where the theme is friendship.

I made a video as I went along and you can watch it here

Heavy rain here this morning so I will catch up
on some orders in my craft room.
Enjoy your day!

Accordion Fold Card


Front of card

inside for verse

last fold for more play.

I made this card for my VIP group to show how to make an easy
accordion fold card.

It gave me lots of space to play around with my stamp set
Happy Hedgehogs
but I also added elements from
One Happy Family and Forever Fern.
The tiny leaves were punched and inked to add interest.

and free tea/coffee!
Have a great week and thanks for stopping by.
